He flat out sucked and i agree that he should not be on this team. Before any of you chime in about Giroux or me being a Flyers fan, save it. The guy was just horrendous on the big ice. He keeps that up and team Canuckistan is going to get chewed up by the US. With that said, Crosby, had a pretty strong game and Canada’s D is flat out scary.

Go USA!!!

Kunitz and Sharp are similar players, but Sharp is more of a sniper whereas Kunitz is more of a park his butt in front of the net and clean up the crease type of guy. Both goal scorers, just different types. Toews played really well with Carter and Marleau, so that’s now given you (at least for the time being) another option for Crosby’s line. And it’s still so early in the tournament that most guys should still have the possibility of sitting. Kunitz was a borderline player to begin with, so it’s only fair he takes a game in from the box. But nobody should be giving up on him after 2 games either. Like Babcock said, they’re creating chances, the chances just aren’t finding the net. It doesn’t seem like the only logical option would be to take the one player you know he’s comfortable with off his line after 2 “not excellent” (because neither was bad) games.

To borrow a quote format from Glen Sather: He doesn’t have the reputation he has because he’s Crosby, he has it because he’s the best. As a Pens fan who has watched him for almost 10 years now, I know that even if it kills him he’ll find a way to get the edge. He’s all about winning in spectacular fashion. Nothing short of that will do. He does his best work when the pressure is on. He’ll make it work.

Kunitz is the English doppelganger for PA Parenteau – a decent player who will make a name for himself if you surround him with world class players.

Kunitz wouldn’t be among the top 50 forwards for Canada if not for Crosby
